Laboratory notebooks also serve as a means of organizingideas and serve as a record of legal ownership of ideas [2]. Beyond this, though, notebooksprovide valuable information that can be analyzed to answer an array of questions [3]. Forinstance, laboratory notebooks served as means of understanding how researchers catalogactivities [4]. Researchers have also addressed the ways in which lab notebooks are used todocument research activities and the degree to which notebooks should be considered vitalrecords [5].

learning and development [1]. Broadly, studies of student engagement have oftenexamined relationships between a student’s educational experiences and the outcomes of interest,finding that, in general, higher engagement was linked to gains in outcomes such as learning andpersistence [2], [3]. In particular, engagement in co-curricular settings, or experiences outside theclassroom, has been linked to the development of several technical and professional outcomesfor engineering students such as leadership, ethical decision making, teamwork, andcommunication [4]–[9]. Beyond those outcomes, co-curricular engagement has also been linkedto outcomes such as self-efficacy and a sense of belonging, which can improve retention andpersistence in engineering

The idea was to represent ‘knowledge domains’ in a visual, logical sequence with anemphasis on the relationship between the various elements or ‘concepts.’ At the very least,concept maps help to organize the contents of a knowledge domain. At its best use, concept mapshelp students recollect prior knowledge, link the various courses in liberal arts, science and math,engineering, and economics and summarize their learning. A list-based syllabus does not connectthe previous knowledge to the one pursued in the current course. The syllabus also does notenlighten the student about the holistic nature of transdisciplinary education in the

BWEF are lesslikely than men to be employed in tenure-track positions [2], earn tenure [2,3], or become a fullprofessor [2,3]; and the findings of a recent study report perceptions of disparities in salary andawards [2]. On the other hand, the receipt of a promotion, tenure, and professional autonomy arethings that have been found to contribute to the retention of BWEF [2].

Dixson and Worrell [1] describe summative assessments ascumulative exams that “capture what a student has learned” (p. 156). Formative assessments, bycomparison, “provide feedback to teachers and students to help learn more effectively” [1], page154). When students are expected to both perform and learn from their mistakes on exams, thoseexams are both summative and formative in nature. However, when student grades dependheavily on exam averages, which is typically the case in undergraduate math courses, studentsare most likely to view exams as summative assessments unless otherwise
